OK Jive

A quintet of Ruby Jive, Lee Partis, Datsun Cherry, Bavon Wayne Wayne and ‘Chopper’, OK Jive produced a brave try to conquer the graphs in the first 80s using their make of ‘Congo Pop’. The group was produced following the demise from the Plymouth, Hampshire, Britain group Cha-Cha Rhythms Kings.
